}}Murray Upper is a locality in the Cassowary Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.[1]

Geography

The Murray River rises in Murray Upper and enters the Coral Sea at neighbouring Bilyana. Almost all of the locality is mountainous (rising to peaks of about 900 metres about sea level) and is within the Girramay National Park. Only a small area in the north-east of the locality is outside the national park and is flat land about 20 metres about sea level and this land is used for farming with sugarcane and bananas being important crops. A cane tramway passes through the farming area to carry the sugarcane to the sugar mill at Tully.[2]

Jumbun Aboriginal community is located on Murray Falls Road in Murray Upper at {{coord|-18.1274|145.7981|type:city_region:AU-QLD|name=Jumbun, Queensland}}.
